photo scanning

Converting prints digitally

Photo scanning is the process of converting physical photographs into digital image files using a scanner or specialized equipment.

The term covers both casual home digitization of old snapshots and professional archival work: I spent the weekend photo scanning my grandmother's albums.

Photo scanning services handle large collections for customers who lack equipment or patience.
